Overview
The ToughNet TN-G6512 series of M12 managed Ethernet switches are
designed for railway applications, including rolling stock and wayside
installations. The switches use M12 and other circular connectors to
ensure tight, robust connections, and guarantee reliable operation in
industrial environments where vibration and shock are commonplace.
The TN-G6512 series of Ethernet switches provide 12 gigabit Ethernet
M12 ports; 8 ports support IEEE 802.3at/af compliant PoE functionality.
These PoE switches are classified as power source equipment (PSE); they
provide up to 30 watts of power per port, and can be used to power IEEE
802.3at/af compliant powered devices (PDs), such as IP cameras,
wireless access points, and IP phones.
The TN-G6512 Series has push-pull M12 connectors that are tailor-made
for push-pull cables in order to facilitate quick installation, and also allow
M12 rotary cables to be utilized. The 24 to 110 VDC wide power input
range and isolated dual power inputs not only allow the same type of
power source at different sites around the globe, but also increase the
reliability of communications systems. Furthermore, the -40 to 70°C
operating temperature capability and IP67-rated enclosure make the
switches suitable for deployment in harsh environments. The TN-G6512
series of Ethernet switches are compliant with the essential sections of EN
50155, covering operating temperature, power input voltage, surge, ESD,
and vibration, as well as conformal coating and power insulation, which
makes the switches suitable for a variety of industrial applications.

Panel/Wall Mounting
STEP 1: Mounting the TN-G6512 to a wall requires 4 screws. Use the
ToughNet switch as a guide to mark the correct positions of the 4 screws.
STEP 2: Use the 4 screws in the
panel mounting kit. If you
would like
to use your own screws, make sure
the screw head
is
between 6.0 mm
and 7.0 mm
in diameter and the
shaft
is less than 4.0 mm in
diameter, as shown
at the right.
Do not screw the screws in all the way—leave a space of about 2 mm to
allow room for sliding the ToughNet switch between the wall and the
screws.
NOTE
Before tightening the screws into the wall, make sure the screw
head and shaft size are suitable by inserting the screw through
one of the keyhole-shaped apertures of the ToughNet switch.
STEP 3: Once the screws are fixed in the wall, hang the ToughNet switch
on the 4 screws through the large opening of the keyhole-shaped
apertures, and then slide the switch downwards. Tighten the four screws
for added stability.
NOTE
To provide greater protection from vibration and shock, use
screws with shaft diameter between 6.0 mm and 7.0 mm, and fix
the ToughNet switch onto the wall directly through the large
opening of the keyhole-shaped apertures.
Wiring Requirements
WARNING
Turn the power off before disconnecting modules or wires. The
correct power supply voltage is listed on the product label. Check
the voltage of your power source to make sure you are using the
correct voltage. Do NOT use a voltage great
er than what is
specified on the product label.
These devices must be supplied by a SELV source as defined in
the Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC and 2004/108/EC.

ATTENTION
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power
cord before installing and/or
wiring your Moxa switch.
This device has UL 61010-2-201
approval. Use copper conductors only,
70
°C, and tighten to 4.5
pound-inches. For use in pollution degree 2 environments.
ATTENTION
Safety First!
Observe all electrical codes dictating the
maximum current
allowable for each wire size. If the current
goes above the
maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat,
causing serious
damage to your equipment.
Please read and follow these guidelines:
•Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power
wiring and device wiring paths must cross, make sure the wires are
perpendicular at the intersection point.
NOTE: Do not run signal or communications wiring and power wiring
through the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with
different signal characteristics should be routed separately.
•You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to
determine which wires should be kept separate. The rule of thumb is
that wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can be
bundled together.
•Keep input wiring and output wiring separated.
•It is strongly advised that you label wiring for all devices in the system
when necessary.
Grounding the ToughNet Switch
Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to
electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the
grounding screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting devices.

ATTENTION
This product
is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded
mounting surface such as a metal panel.
Connecting the Power Supplies
ToughNet TN-G6512 series switches support dual power inputs—power
input 1 and power input 2. The M12 K-coded 6-pin male connector on the
TN-G6512 series switches' front panel is used for the dual power inputs.

TN-G6512 switch.
STEP 2: Screw the nut on your power cord connector into the power input
connector on the switch to ensure a tight connection.
ATTENTION
Before connecting the
TN-G6512
series to the power input, make
sure the power source voltage is stable.

Connecting the Data Lines
10/100/1000BaseT(X) Ethernet Port Connection
The TN-G6512 Series has 12 10/100/1000BaseT(X) Ethernet ports (M12
X-coded 8-pin female connector). The 10/100/1000TX ports located on
the front panel of the TN-G6512 Series are used to connect to
Ethernet-enabled devices. Most users configure these ports for Auto
MDI/MDI-X mode, in which case the port’s pinouts are adjusted
automatically depending on the type of Ethernet cable used
(straight-through or cross-over), and the type of device (NIC-type or
HUB/Switch-type) connected to the port.
In what follows, we give pinouts for both MDI (NIC-type) ports and MDI-X
(HUB/Switch-type) ports. We also give cable wiring diagrams for
straight-through and cross-over Ethernet cables.
